Painting as a Spiritual Expression

Is a painting no more than a piece of paper with lines and color or is it more than that? In the hands of the master painter, who is painting in the spirit; the lifeless piece of paper with its lines and colors, is transformed into a creation that has life, just as the master creator gave life to his creation. The painter transmits the essence of his spirit to his creation, the “painting.”

A painting is the expression of the heart and soul; it transmits cultural messages and the mysteries of the universe. It is born out of the desire of the artist to represent the forms of nature and man through the spirit of the artist as he perceives his world.

An artist not only captures the forms of nature, the artist’s spirit interacts with the spirit of the animals or men he is painting. His painting captures both the spirit and the message of its subject. One can see it in the expression, the eyes, and the gestalt of the painting. All good paintings communicate an emotion or message to the observer. It might be a message of love, harmony or tranquility; or it might be a message of danger, fury, or sadness. It could be a lesson, or something that all of us as humans can identify with, such as a desire to be loved.

The painting as art served ancient peoples as a medium to purify and refine the human spirit. The well studied and observant artist through his own meditation gives life to the animated states, feelings, and spiritual essence of the animals and humans he paints. The purification or refinement of the observer’s spirit occurs through the inspired artist’s ability to communicate the subject’s (man or animal): spirit, animation, feelings, thoughts, and the scene or stage of the subject, with all of its colors and form.

A Craps System Increases Your Chances of Winning

If you’re a craps player you probably enjoy playing the craps game with a minimum of risk. A craps system is a method of obtaining this. If you follow this system you will have a long and more enjoyable play whether you’re playing craps at an Indian casino or from the best casino gambling online website.

A good system for the craps game should include

a Craps game plan
odds, such as knowledge
executing enough discipline to follow the craps game plan

The Craps game plan

Have you ever seen The Lakers or any other top football team going into the Super Bowl without a game plan? I haven’t. And this is also true for the Craps game. You don’t enter a serious Craps game without some sort of a game plan. With a good Craps game plan to follow, it’s less likely that you’ll get caught up with all the “bad bets” at the table when things go wrong Vital questions your game plan must answer, for example is when to bet, what to bet on and how much to bet, etc.

Know Thy Odds

You should know the odds for any number that is rolled in the Craps game. As Craps players we know that the house has a definite advantage as the seven has the highest chance of rolling than any number. So a general rule of thumb should be that the further away from a seven the number is, the lower the chance it has of being rolled. Let’s say a two has a one in 36 chance while an eight has five in 36 chance of rolling. So by applying a little common sense, you’ll see that you should chose to place bets on numbers that have higher chances of rolling.

Craps discipline

To carry out your craps game plan, you need to drum up discipline. This means doing like the professional gamblers do; don’t let greed and fear tempt you away from common sense. If you keep focused and execute a little discipline, you can play only the strongest bets on the table and eventually walk away with minor losses instead of ruin.

If the fortunate event of having a nice stack of the casino’s chips in front of you occurs, executing discipline will also help you to go home.

How Many Guitar Chords Do I Need To Know?

Guitar chords, (note groups played specifically on a guitar,) differ only from other types of chords by virtue of instrument; they’re simply a series of three or more notes played together. These notes don’t necessarily have to be played simultaneously, however.

Broken chords (also referred to as arpeggios) are three or more notes that aren’t played at the same time but closely enough to still be heard as a group or whole. And even the three-note rule is open to the occasional exception; some guitar chords consist of only two notes, but they still function as chords because they work diatonically in the same way that a major or minor chord would.

Guitar chords might very well be the most important element of guitar playing; after all, they’re the basis of what makes a song. Most people picking up a guitar for the first time figure out a few guitar chords before even going for their first lesson, and still more teach themselves guitar without any help from an instructor. Self-taught guitarists learn chords in a number of ways. Some learn by listening to their favorite songs and slowly picking out the notes, a common yet often frustrating process. Others figure out the chords by learning to read tabs, a type of sheet music intended for fretted instruments that uses a graph-like chart to show where on the frets the fingers are placed. Both techniques are common among those learning the guitar, though the number of self-taught guitarists who never learned to read tab is fairly high.

Just like any other instrument, the sheer number of possible chord-groups can often be overwhelming for a new guitarist. And even the frequently taught chords are beginning to fall by the wayside, making room for a variety of guitar sounds created by tuning the strings in almost innumerous ways. Though power-chords (a type of note group using a base note, an octave note and the fifth) are still the most common type of chords, new bands are increasingly experimenting with alternate tunings to create new sounds; alternative bands have been toying with this way of playing interesting guitar sounds for decades.

So how many chords does a guitarist really need to know?

Most simple songs contain just 3 called “primary chords”. So even a stark beginner can learn 3 simple note groups well enough to strum along and accompany himself as he sings. But after that, the sky is the limit; there are thousands of possible chords, so it is up to the individual guitarist as to how many he or she want to master.

Very well done and I hated to see it end. Whoever the writers were did their historical homework, and took very little editorial license. Highly recommended.

Review date : 2008-07-15
Once again, George Lucas has thoroughly entertained and intrigued us with his use of combining history and adventure in Young Indy’s life in a serious and humorous way. We also enjoyed all the many extras that give us the background on the historical figures we encounter along with Indy. Fact and/or fiction — a very nice way to take on an adventure and possibly learn a little history as well.

Review date : 2008-06-21

I fell in love with the first volume of this DVD release - if only for the special features. (See my review under that title.) The re-edited stories on Volume one were confusing but the 10-½ hours (!) of NEW documentaries blew me away! George Lucas and Rick McCallum put their money where there mouth was (and Paramount went out on a limb by putting 10 DVDS in one set) and it shows. The documentaries are well researched and use the experts in the field.

I’m not a big War Years fan so Volume 2 was just okay for me but - again - high quality documentaries were attached.

Then came this volume. First, I headed to the documentaries - Jazz - Louis Armstrong - Ben Hecht - The Algonquin Round table. Each was better than the next with super footage in crisp quality prints and all the experts. Then I decided to watch the series episodes on the Blues and Hollywood. I’m as big music fan so I gave them a shot. WOW! Was I impressed! The Mystery of The Blues episode is loaded with great music - yes, full musical numbers. And each of the three women that Indy falls for is more gorgeous than the next. And how many films feature clarinetist Sidney Bechet as it’s lead character for 90 minutes? (You even get a bit of Harrison Ford at beginning and end!). The last episode on early Hollywood was great too with lots of cool stunt work and an over-the-top performance by the actor playing eccentric Director Eric von Stroheim.

I was really sorry to hear that the series ended with this episode. I’m hooked!

All the volumes belong in every school and public library as a learning tool. Each of the 25-35 minute docs is a new learning tool for adults as well as older children. I certainly give this volume FIVE STARS! And a BIG thanks to Lucas, McCallum and Paramount!

George Lucas should definitely produce more Young Indiana Jones episodes. The episodes of volume three are all terrific and represent a wide range of events, genre, and most important, allow further character development of Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones gets to teach some history while endearing himself to us as a good man with a keen mind and open heart facing his own life lessons. New episodes might finally explain how this trusting young man he created grew to be a cynical adult of the feature films. It’s this satisfied viewer’s hope that Sean Patrick Flanery finally gets the credit he deserves for his many exquisite performances throughout this series. The episode in Italy with the young Ernie Hemingway is as good a "buddy movie" as Hope and Crosby, Newman and Redford, or any other Hollywood team has ever created.

Review date : 2008-06-15
Rubbish. I got caught up in the hype for Indy 4, so I brought these dvds when they were on special. I watched about 30 mins for disc 1 before I turned it off. I had not seen the series before and it was not what I thought it would be.

The Quality Of Our TV Shows

In recent years there are many TV shows hitting the TV screen and most of them being of poor quality so much so that you consider lucky if you found one night a week with some decent shows. Though the overall quality of TV shows is average at best I feel that there are two shows out there right now that are very good and characterize what America is all about. Those shows are ?American Idol? and ?The Biggest Loser?.

There do exist flip side to these shows as well like in American Idol here are people on the air that are clearly there only to try and get on the air. It takes away from the people with the real talent. This is clearly a show that gives people the chance to realize a dream of theirs that they might never have had the chance to realize. Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, and Carrie Underwood are most likely the main stars to come from the show so far. Kelly Clarkson is a big celebrity, she is selling out arenas for her current tour. She sells many CD?s and she is played all over the airwaves. Same goes for Clay Aiken, except he is not on tour right now. Carrie is more part of the country scene but still popular for that genre of music.

For The Biggest Loser what is embarrassing to watch is that they put these people in front of America and virtually no clothes when getting weighed, though the positives outweigh the negatives in my opinion? This show assists a cluster of people learn how to change their lifestyles so they can become, and remain, healthy people. This how creates an impression on the audience how difficult it is to make the changes and what they go threw while trying to make the changes. Offices have ?Biggest Loser? contests; families begin losing weight together, etc? The impact is on society in general. Now the show is so popular that it is not just limited those 16 people on the show that season either. It has made an impression on many people across the country.

For sure these two shows can be correlated to America as from hard work and determination is what our country was built on and these shows also help to give people hope and they infuse people with inspiration to help them accomplish their dreams.

Finding A Good Guitar Pickup

If you know a guitar player, or live with one like I do, you probably have heard of guitar pickups and wonder what the big deal is. My husband can go on and on about them for hours, and he is always talking about new ones he hopes to get. Though I don’t really understand why the different types are indeed different, he seems to know what he is talking about, and he has become an expert at installing new ones. He even knows when they can be resold and when they really aren’t worth much any longer. I wish he applied the same knowledge to other things around the house, but that’s a different story all together.

Guitar pickups, apparently, are all different. The kind you want to buy will depend on what style of music you like to play. Each of the different guitar pickups has a different sound, and if you have the wrong type, it just isn’t going to sound right. The pickup actually picks up the sound from the string before it is sent to the amplifier. So if you have a pickup made for a country sound, it’s not going to sound right when you play Metallica songs. Though for some people, this may be the perfect way to get a unique sound in your band that no one else has.

You can find guitar pickups online and in your local entertainment-resource-directory.com/entertainment/all-entertainment/looking-for-vinyl-records-for-sale.htm music store, and you will find that the prices range from pretty cheap to oh my goodness who has that kind of money to spend on a guitar part. My husband seems to like the latter type, though I guess I can understand that. He wants a good sound and if that’s what he wants, who I am to judge? I spend enough money on my things; he should be able to buy the guitar pickups that he really wants to get.

That doesn’t mean I understand completely, but it’s not my job to understand. As long as he lets me go see the Wiggles whenever I want, and lets me redecorate the bathroom whenever I feel the urge to do so, then I guess I can’t complain about the cost of his guitar pickups, or any other guitar accessory for that matter. Now when he starts to talk about diamond studded guitar pickups then I might just have to draw the line. They don’t make those, do they?

Flying Stars Feng Shui for 2007 : Predictions & Remedies for Main Door Facing South

Flying Stars or Fei Xing is a powerful form of Feng Shui derived from the famous Xuan Kong Feng Shui. It is an Analysis of the Five Elements and Star Combinations (representing certain energy patterns) that occupy every building. Each new year these annual stars change, Qi (energy) shifts happen, bringing good and bad energy with them - thereby producing different effects.

In February 2004 all the Feng Shui Energy Patterns underwent huge transformations to the NewAge of Land Luck called Period 8 Energy Cycles. It means that a large scale evolution of the human race with completely new energy dynamics has started. The significance is that the new, vibrant energies of Period 8 impacts on the buildings differently than before and energies that were previously activated now need to be remedied, in order to reduce any bad effects from the past influences.

The Flying Stars Chart or the 9-Grid Meteor Plan for the Ding-Hai, Year of the Female Yin Red Fire Pig or Boar has been plotted and the effects of their energy patterns are analyzed. The analysis also contains suggested remedies/cures for reducing the impact of negative energy and recommended enhancers for increasing and improving upon the beneficial energy of the year.

For the remedies/enhancers to be effective, they should be cleansed, energised, blessed and programmed not only for the particular individual/family but also for the specific purpose/problem. They should also be placed in the indicated location.

The direction in which your main door lies is very important to any form of Geomancy, including Feng Shui & Vaastu Shashtra. The primary reason for this is that the air currents and energy flow in and flow out through the mouth of the main door. Thus you receive positive energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of auspicious stars or meteors (powerful energy bodies) and receive negative energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of evil stars or meteors. In case negative impacts are forecast, you can simply offset the negative energy by installing the recommended remedies there. Any or all of these remedies can be reused for the coming years, the only thing is that they should be repositioned according to the new year.

Please note that the effects may be felt in varying degrees depending upon the exact compass degree of the main door.

ANNUAL FORECAST & REMEDIES FOR FLATS/HOMES/OFFICES/FACTORIES WITH MAIN DOOR FACING SOUTH : A prosperous year where there is good money flow and wealth luck. The salaried workers will gain promotion and monetary increments. The self-employed will see growth and business expansions. Some may get recognition for their activities and some others will don new roles. There will be many changes in the household, in general. Family members involved in banks, public sector enterprises, corporate companies and politics will outshine others. Many will assume new positions and responsibilities. Personal and professional travels will be frequent. Guidance from the mentors and well-wishers will be voluntary and quite helpful. The status of the family in the society will drastically increase.

Do not lend money to anyone or stand guarantor for any loans, this year. Keep in touch with your friends circle and do not allow any communications gaps to come in between. Install the icon of Kuan Kung in the North West. Some of the family members could develop problems pertaining to liver and legs. In a few cases, there could be fire based disasters. Do not keep Fish Aquarium or Water Fountain near your main door, this year.

Display the genuine, energised photographs of “Feng Ji, the 2007 TaiSui” and the “TaiSui Protection Talisman for 2007″ in the North West and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or wallet, to minimise the negative impacts of the year.

Door Mat Colour for the Main Door : Gray (on the inside) and Yellow or Brown (on the outside).

IMPORTANCE OF TAISUI TaiSui, a very important aspect of Chinese Astrology, is popularly known as the Grand Duke of Jupiter. It is an intangible energy body of war-like nature that should not be disturbed. The TaiSui or the Year Authority is a commanding post that has total control over that particular year. The Chinese Lunar Year Cycle has 60 years and so there are 60 TaiSui, with every year having a different TaiSui. For 2007, “Feng Ji” is the TaiSui and he is situated at North West. Do not install any moving objects like Fish Aquariums or Water Fountains in North West, this year. Do not dig, construct, renovate, redecorate or repair in North West this year. Do not drill or even drive a nail in the North West wall. Do not shift or relocate to another place, this year. Do not chop trees. Display the genuine, energised photographs of “Feng Ji, the 2007 TaiSui” and the “TaiSui Protection Talisman for 2007″ in the North West and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or wallet, to minimise the negative impacts of the year.

In those times, we generally do not agree with them, in the way they see things from their perspectives and things does not seem to work with them, the only reason being - their attitude.

Great Wedding Photography

Some feel that taking wedding photos is only a casual affair, just do it and get it over with as they are only doing it for a family or friend. Others view it as a serious matter as it is their professional. Wedding photos can sometimes be difficult to take as there is a flurry of activity as well as varying lighting conditions, not to mention dealing with a nervous bride that wants everything to be perfect. Here are some strategies you can use for taking great wedding photos.

If you are going to take wedding photos, preparing ahead of time is vital. Many recommend that you prepare two months ahead. To start preparation, you must get to know the bride and groom taking, careful note of their needs and wants. Ways this can be done is by asking them the following questions:

1. How many photographers will there be at the wedding.

2. Do the guests consist of mostly family or, is there going to be a mixture of family and friends?

3. Which locations will be used? Will the wedding be at a church or in a backyard? Will there be a reception?

4. What types of photos would you like? Would you like formal group portraits or do you want romantic and candid couple pictures? This is an extremely important question. Be sure that you understand what type of photos the bride and groom want. Ask them to describe some of the favorite wedding photos they have seen. This will give you an idea of what they have in mind.

It is questions such as these that will help you understand the requirements of the wedding which will, in turn, enable you to take better shots.

After you have learned of the wedding locations, it is a good idea to go and scout them out. You will want to take note of the types of lighting as well as other features of the environment. If the wedding is going to be in a church, go there and check out the decor. It will also be beneficial to figure out where you will position yourself. Some churches do not allow flash photography so, it is a good idea to get a fast lens. If there will be a reception, check out the dance floor and ask for the seating arrangement.

Organizing the gear that you’ll need for taking the photos is another critical step. It is usually a good idea to do this a month ahead of time as it will leave you enough time to check and double check to see if you are missing any equipment. Here is a list that may help you keep in check;

1. Digital camera. You should also have a camera for backup.

2. Camera lenses and filters.
3. Tripod. This is critical for taking pictures indoors under low lighting conditions.

4. Memory cards. Bring ones that have a lot of space as you’ll be taking a great number of photos and always have an extra.

5. Portable drive. This is critical to bring along just in case you should run out of space on your memory cards.

6. Make sure the battery is charged and that you have a backup battery.

7. Assistant. It would be helpful to bring one along as he or she could help you set up and position the group. The assistant can be a family, friend, or whoever you decide to bring along.

Now, the wedding day has come, and there is a great deal of excitement. To help you keep in check, here is a sequence of events that will occur;

1. If you are taking pictures at the house, be one of the earliest to arrive so you will have time to set up your equipment as well as your positions.

2. When taking pictures at the church, take note of where the priest and couple will be standing and position yourself where you can get the shots you need but will be as unobtrusive as possible.

3. When it is time for the reception, get there faster than everyone else. This will give you time to set up your equipment as well as your position. This is the time where you can take all of the fun shots!

4. When taking formal photos, have your assistant there to help you. Start out with the large groups and then go smaller removing family members so you can get a variety.

5. It is common now to upload all the photos to an online gallery so that the couple can choose which and how many photos they wish to have edited and printed. You will need to know this information so that you know how much to charge them for the number of photos they have chosen unless an agreement was reached before hand. Even if an agreement was reached before hand, once they see the photos, they may want more than was originally agreed upon and you may have to charge a per photo price for photos in addition to the number that was originally agreed upon.

6. Once the couple chooses the photos they want, cleaning up and editing the photos is important as you want them to be as perfect as possible and be pleasing to the couple.

As taking wedding photos can be a challenge, it can also be rewarding as you have played a crucial part in helping the couple capture those precious memories.

i can’t believe some people don’t like imus , but it’s opinion of others. not me i think the guy is funny i laugh my head off every time i listen to this album , i just wish he would have made more recordings then this one it’s shame . long live the grouch funny man of talk radio, the original prankster. burn howard stern he’s just not funny.

Howard Stern claims that Imus ripped him off, Well Howie YOUR WRONG!! because "1200 Hamburgers To Go" is Don Imus’ first comedy album which was released in 1972 presumably while Howard Stern was unsuccessfully trying to score with a girl in High School on Roosevelt Long Island.

This album has some classic Don Imus bits including the title track in which he calls a local hamburger restaurant claiming to be with military and wishes to order 1200 Hamburgers for the troops, Also Imus as the corrupt, slimy money grubbing Reverend Bill Sol Hargus from his ministry in Del Rio Texas, This is a laugh a minute of classic bits that made Imus famous.

Review date : 2001-03-09
If you’re a fan of the I-man, you’ll appreciate the historical nature of this CD. It does showcase some of his comedy bits from his early days, when he first moved from Cleveland to New York. Indeed, there are cuts from WGAR and WNBC included on the CD. These were outrageous back in the mid-70’s, but they seem dated today. Although I own the LP from those many years ago, I recently listened to the CD, and got a chuckle. It’s more of a museum piece for I-fans than it is a cutting-edge comedy album.

I would recommend, if you can find it, his CD entitled "This Honky’s Nuts," which is a club recording from the seventies; it’s very salty — the cover proclaims, "X-Rated," itself an anachronism — and he says some stuff on there that you would never be able to get away with in today’s PC culture, but I got huge belly-laughs listening to it. He termed his act "Imus in the Evening," and it’s not anything you would have heard on your father’s radio. Come to think of it, it was your radio it would not have been on, as your father was probably listening to Rambling with Gambling. In any case, it’s worth the Internet search to find this one.

Review date : 2000-09-17
Enjoy some of Imus’s classic spoofs from the old days. A brief glimpse of the Rev. Billy Sol makes the entire CD worth the price. This is Don from the old days. Quality is excellent.

Remind me to laugh. Don is no Bob Newhart
